— Logan Paul (@LoganPaul) January 2, 2018The Google subsidiary had declared in December that y want to invest more in human resources, infrastructure and KünstlicheIntelligenz to identify inappropriate content in future. In EinerStellungnahme, a spokesman said video of Logan Paul had violated guidelines. Videos with drastic content should only stay online if Siedokumentarische or visual information is included. That was not case here.
One employee apparently saw it differently. WieBuzzfeed reported that Clipschon had been reported shortly after publication. This means that moderator must have checked it manually. In this case, Moderatorentschieden has to keep it online even without age restriction. Möglicherweiseauch because Paul has a gewisseNarrenfreiheit with more than 15 million subscribers. Der22-year-old had been excluded from marketing by advertising.
The weaknesses of moderationThe case shows how hard it is fürPlattformen like YouTube to implement its own, teilsbewusstly formulated guidelines. On one hand WillYouTube offer a wide range of services that can be used by all Menschensofort. A preliminary review of each new video Wärenicht only barely to press staff, but would also damage immediacy of offer. Hardly any user wants to daraufwarten hours or even days until a video is unlocked. Moreover, risk of censorship would be great because moderation is not transparent.
On or hand, EinzelneMitarbeiter have to decide at ir own discretion wher a notified Clipgegen violates directives. Which in some cases is simple (etwaPornos), is difficult in or cases. The video of Logan Paul Verstößtgegen The usual practice in suicide reporting, even if esdie identity of dead is not revealed and spectators at beginning warns of contents notched help points. The question of wher a person's suicide is being staged is ultimately a moral one.
